I’m always on the lookout for easy sides, espeically when it comes to our Mexican dinners. This Mexican Rice couldn’t be more simple to make and so much better than anything you could find in a box! You may already have these ingredients on hand. I know that I try to keep them stocked in my pantry.
It’s typically served along side refried beans, but I love it with my homemade Black Beans and even with my Street Corn.
This is a great recipe to put in your file and keep handy because you’ll be making it often! It’s delicious!
